Looking for storage solutions for my computers at home, I settled on this external hard drive. 500 GB of space! Like the title suggests, this drive is more space than all the computers sitting in my house currently have combined!
What to do?
Partition it? Should I break it down into smaller logical spaces? Most of my computers are already partitioned. I'm afraid that I may need to save a 300 GB file.
Start back ups? Eh. I'm not too worried about losing data. Yet.
Re-install Tiger, 10.4? Booting off the fire wire would be cool. But why?
It's a lot, but I really would've liked to put this on the network as a network drive. The solution to that would be this, but that's another expense. I tried looking at this, but it would've forced me to use a weird PC file system. Complicated.
